how deep for the sand bed

So I have my 30 gallon tank and I just added I would say 35 lbs of sand. Maybe an inch and a half to 2 1/2 inches in some spots.

How deep do people make there beds and why

thanks good info in there

I bumped my bed up to about 3 - 4 inches in most spots. Thats more than enough for me. I have fine sand on the bottom and course sand on top. When my live rock comes in next week I will move things around and add or remove sand at that time if I need to
